TheBigJT Posted July 19, 2023 Posted July 19, 2023 Hi everyone I'm trying to install osc V4 on Windows 10 with xampp. I've installed xampp, and created a blank database in phpmyadmin. When installing osc, I get the error "It seems like you are using Apache under Windows as Webserver. osCommerce will only work under linux." but all prerequisites are ticked. It then moves on to the database access section. Database host - localhost. Database name - the one I just created. Username and password is where I get stuck. There was no option to create a username or password. I've tried root and a blank password but it still won't connect I got this far by following the post here https://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/497742-how-to-install-osc-v4-on-xampp/ What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated TIA Ian Quote
TheBigJT Posted July 19, 2023 Author Posted July 19, 2023 Hi again After a few more attempts, I'm still stuck but the error message is access denied for user <user>@ 'localhost' (using password YES) Ian Quote

It's a warning, not an error. You can use osCommerce under Windows but we don't guarantee it will work fine. 13 hours ago, TheBigJT said: Database host - localhost.

I've tried root and a blank password but it still won't connect You have to enter database user and password here. They are managed by mysql\mariadb utils. By default the username is "root" and the password is blank Quote
TheBigJT Posted July 25, 2023 Author Posted July 25, 2023 Hi Pandrei Managed to get it working. All seems OK up to now. When xampp is running go to http://localhost/dashboard/docs/reset-mysql-password.html This will tell you how to reset the password Thanks again Ian Quote
